El Centenario(original) |
Si eres pobre te humilla la gente |
Si eres rico te tratan muy bien |
Un amigo se metió a la mafia |
Porque pobre ya no quiso ser |
Ahora tiene dinero de sobra |
Por costales le pagan al mes |
Todos le dicen el centenario |
Por la joya que brilla en su pecho |
Ahora todos lo ven diferente |
Se acabaron todos sus desprecios |
Nomás porque trae carro del año |
Ya lo ven con el signo de peso |
Lo persigue el gobierno gabacho |
Pero el no deja de trabajar |
A los ángeles va cada rato |
Y regresa con un dineral |
El recibe órdenes desde arriba |
Y las cumple a como dé lugar |
Al peligro ya se acostumbro |
Y por eso no le teme a nadie |
En su Lincoln se pasea tranquilo |
Por Tijuana y por Guadalajara |
Por los Angeles y San Fransisco |
Y también por las Vegas Nevada |
Con la mafia se gana dinero |
Pero se necesita valor |
Porque aquí no hay ningún parentesco |
Y no se admite algún error |
Siempre te andas rifando el pellejo |
Con las leyes o con el patrón |
(translation) |
If you are poor people humiliate you |
If you are rich they treat you very well |
A friend joined the mafia |
Because he no longer wanted to be poor |
Now he has money to spare |
For sacks they pay him per month |
Everyone tells him the centenary |
For the jewel that shines on her chest |
Now everyone sees it differently |
All your contempt is over |
Just because it brings car of the year |
They already see it with the peso sign |
The gabacho government persecutes him |
But he doesn't stop working |
He goes to Los Angeles every so often |
And he comes back with a fortune |
He takes orders from above |
And he fulfills them at any cost |
He's used to danger |
And that's why he's not afraid of anyone |
In his Lincoln he walks calmly |
Through Tijuana and Guadalajara |
Through Los Angeles and San Fransisco |
And also for Las Vegas Nevada |
With the mafia you make money |
But it takes courage |
Because here there is no kinship |
And no mistake is allowed |
You're always raffling off your skin |
With the laws or with the boss |
